I bought mine from performanceaccessories.com for the sierra but they change the name already (cancelled the order due to being on back order for more then 5months). The Silverado I took to a shop in garland GZkustomz they bought and installed mine for 1500$ few years ago

I bought a 1.5" body lift from Zone.
Installed it myself. But, then, I did install a 6" body lift on my my old '78 Scottsdale, so I've been there and done that.
It was a lot easier on the old one than the 2017.
The old one also had a 6" suspension lift - it was a great driver, really.

What part of the install would be considered difficult? 

 

How many inches did you gain from the tires in the wheel well? I've searched but nothing turns up on that question.

That brought back memories of the truck I had. I had a 87 silverado with 10" suspension lift 3" body lift duel rancho shocks on each corner and duel steering stabilizer running 42" super swampers over the leaf traction bars to control axle wrap and kc highlights on the rollbar.

The hardest part was raising the bumpers. 

The instructions with my kit were good but it's rather tedious work.
It's a direct lift at the wheel wells to the tires.

Rock on man. I figured the bumpers would be the worst. Been there, when I swapped to chrome bumpers that was a chore. What's one more time going to hurt 😆

Man it looks like it has more lift. I'm thinking my 2" front and rear will be just shy of a 4". Thanks!

Get out your sawzall and be ready to make some cuts on the front and, then, drill some new holes for mounts and tow hooks.
Also, the rear bumper is a pain to remove the coverings (rear upper bumper covers) takes a lot of time and is a PIA.
Additionally, remove the front bumper completely, prior, and loosen the condenser and radiator to get at the front bolts. (you'll be removing the front grill, anyway)
The rest is just remove and replace with longer bolts and lifting to get the spacers in.
The kit comes with ground extensions - make sure you use them or body grounds can become problematic, at best.
There's a few other items like rehanging the parking brake cables (bracket included) ... I think that's it, been awhile.
I asked a few 4x4 shops if they would do it - they all declined and that's why I did it myself.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
